Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 846 Fighting Shanhaiguan Again (Part [-])
Shanhaiguan is worthy of being one of the most dangerous passes in the world. It is as strong as iron. It is located at the end of the Great Wall and faces Bohai Sea in the south. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has always been a must for military strategists.Not only in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also in the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, there were endless wars, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.The most famous battle was in 1644, when Li Zijun, Wu Sangui and Dorgon fought here. This was a landmark battle for the entry of the Qing army, and a milestone for the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Dashun army. It is the highest state of confidante.

Li Zicheng lost that battle, and he suffered a crushing defeat from then on. It was not until Zhu Yousong crossed over that Li Zicheng gained a firm foothold in the Tongguan battle.Now Shanhaiguan has become the powder keg of Ming and Qing. Although Wu Sangui and Liu Zongmin have passed away, the two protagonists, Dorgon and Li Zicheng, are still there. Li Zicheng has long aimed at Dorgon. Here we come, Li Zicheng has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Now the Nine Gates Pass City, which is surrounded by a piece of stone inside and outside Shanhaiguan, is full of Ming's expeditionary army camps. Zhu Yousong's imperial camp is stationed in the pass city of Shanhaiguan. The four thousand imperial camp soldiers include three thousand imperial cavalry and one thousand The Musket Battalion guards the safety of the Imperial Battalion at all times.

Li Zicheng's troops were stationed in Wengcheng, Dongluo City, and North and South Yicheng, Zhang Xianzhong's troops were stationed in Xiluo City, Jiumen City, etc., and the special warfare battalion was stationed in Jiaoshan outside the pass. The artillery battalion had not yet arrived. Song's imperial battalion had just been stationed here for the next day, when they received news that Dorgon had led an army out of Ningyuan and rushed to Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Yousong originally planned to take the expeditionary army to Shanhaiguan to go straight to Ningyuan City. Now that the Qing army has come, Zhu Yousong decided to wait for them here and fight Dorgon again at Shanhaiguan.

Li Zicheng couldn't wait to see Zhu Yousong and asked for Ying, "Your Majesty, the bandit army has already arrived. I am not talented. Please order the first battle to destroy Dorgon outside the pass."

At this time Zhang Xianzhong also came, saluting: "Your Majesty, this credit cannot be given to some people alone, and it must be shared by me, Lao Zhang, as agreed a long time ago."

"Zhang Jingxuan, are you trying to make things difficult for me?" Li Zicheng's eyes widened.

Zhang Xianzhong refused to give in, and his beard pouted, "Li Hongji, you are too self-righteous, and you can't get along with you. Who do you think you are? Who wouldn't want such a rare opportunity to make meritorious service in the first battle? Don't think that your Ma Jun How amazing, my infantry can still make Dorgon shit out, why can't I, Lao Zhang, if you can ask for an order?"

Seeing that the two of them were going to fight again, Gao Guiying and Huimei were not there, and the accompanying eunuch An Lin and Xiao Liushi and Liu Chunhong who were present did not dare to be happy. Extremely human minister, commanding thousands of troops, and the two are relatives who are constantly beheaded, how can they be like children, fighting when they say it?

But they can't get in their mouths, they can only see how their majesty Zhu Yousong makes a decision.

Zhu Yousong interrupted them with a smile and said: "Don't argue, two lovers. I did say this a long time ago, but it's not the same now and then. Now that we have encountered the Tartars in Shanhaiguan again, it seems that this is the case. God's will, I was here five years ago, and I was also committed by Dole. Hongji was defeated in that battle. Now the opportunity is rare, and I have to give him this opportunity no matter what. Jingxuan just back down a step. How about I leave Ningyuan City to you? ?”

"Since Your Majesty has said so, Lao Zhang has to obey the order." Zhang Xianzhong glanced at Li Zicheng, and then said to Zhu Yousong, "But Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. If the Ma Jun loses in the first battle, don't forget There are still one hundred thousand infantry."

Li Zicheng was so angry that he ignored Zhang Xianzhong, and said to Zhu Yousong, "Thank you, Your Majesty, if Zicheng cannot win this battle, he is willing to donate his head to thank the world."

This is tantamount to a military order.Originally victory or defeat is a matter of routine for military strategists, but this time we can only win but not lose, otherwise we will lose our heads.

After Li Zicheng got the order, he led [-] cavalry from the expeditionary army and rushed out of Dongluo City. His generals Liu Wenxiu, Ma Wannian, and Lu Xiao followed closely.

Dongluo City is one of the pass cities in Shanhaiguan. After leaving the pass city, 5 expeditionary troops and tens of thousands of horses galloped like a giant chariot, and soon galloped on the vast fertile fields.

After a few miles, they encountered Dorgon's men.Li Zicheng immediately reined in his horse, and the giant chariot stopped suddenly.

In sight, countless small black dots climbed up the green field in the sky, and the small black dots gradually grew larger, turning into horse and human shapes, and all of them had colors, but Li Zicheng and the others still looked as big as toys.

Li Zicheng and the others stood neatly like chopping knives and axes. Fifty thousand horses covered the sky and covered the ground. The generals on the horses all looked indifferent, their armors gleamed with blue light, and they held sharp knives, like hunters staring at their prey in front of them. at every turn……

"Reporting to the Prince Regent, the Ming army in front is flying the Li character banner. There are about 5 troops, and they are all cavalry. The leader is Li Zicheng."

"Li Zicheng?"

Dorgon's big gong face was slightly startled, he was too familiar with this name.This is an all-powerful figure who forced Chongzhen to hang himself five years ago, but won the world.I didn't expect to be driven by the court again now.But so what?

It was also here five years ago that this man achieved his glory.That battle was a compressed version of the Three Kingdoms. Dorgon was the biggest winner. He took Wu Sangui's Guanning cavalry and defeated the main elite of the Dashun Army.Started the Eight Banners' journey to the Central Plains!

Thinking about this, Dorgon was so angry that he turned his back and laughed.

"I'm defeated! Hahaha..."

"My lord, the last general is not talented, and I would like to take Li Zicheng as the leader." Yue Le, the commander of the third battalion, volunteered.

Dorgon saw that his first battle was just right, and the tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers under him were the forwards.Moreover, Dorgon, the general of Yue Lezhi, knows very well. He used to be a top member of Haoge's faction. Back then, Haoge's strength was not inferior to him. Except for Hauge and Aobai, only Yuele is counting.

So Dorgon agreed generously, "Yue Le, this king ordered you to lead the troops to attack and defeat Li Zicheng's troops. You are only allowed to win, not to lose."

"Obey. Don't worry, my lord!"

With a promise, Yue Le left Dorgon's main force with 3 green battalion cavalry, and went straight to Li Zicheng's army.

Yue Le was still stuck in the thinking of five years ago, and didn't pay attention to these Han troops at all.In the wild battlefield, riding a horse and rushing to kill, who can beat their Eight Banners Army?And the Green Battalion soldiers he personally trained did not lose to the Eight Banners Army.

The surging iron flow of the Qing army came overwhelmingly.

When they were several hundred meters away, Li Zicheng ordered Liu Wenxiu's troops to attack.Liu Wenxiu threw the sword into the air and shouted: "Kill!"
